Condition
The canvas is lined. There is an uneven layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination does reveal a few tiny spots of retouching to the sky, and an area towards the centre of the left edge. Also visible under UV light, there are two horizontal bands of fluorescence towards the centre, to the right part of the lower edge, and to the signature at the lower right corner which might also be retouchings. There is some paint shrinkage in places to the sky. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue though the blue pigments are lighter in the original.
